MMM C60?

[arfabuck]

Hi Guys, new to the site and excited to get amongst orange tractor owners.
I have come across what looks like a C60 MMM in the grass.


It has been there for at least 12 years and showing very little rust on the shell. Just a little by the flap hinge.
There are no identifying marks on the machine at all.
I am planting a 1 hectare fig orchard that is primarily grass, so will be in need of a mower of some sort.
This machine should fit under my Kubota ST30 workhorse and do the job , so the question is...................
Do I restore this machine or is it more economical/prudent to buy something else.?

cheers,

I'd carefully grab all the bits and pieces, take home..
turn deck upside down to see IF the blades/spindles are 'ok'
clean it up,maybe there's a number 'somewhere....
check online parts places for drawings to see that's need to connect to your tractor
if (IF ?) it fits, I bet it's cheaper to fix than buy...

Yup underside looking good. Everything turns OK except the drive shaft. Not a biggie.
Several parts missing so will have to go on a hunt for those, and yes, it does fit the St 30.
The mower hangers are still on the machine. Blades look unused.

Bummer. It turns out to be mission impossible here in NZ. No parts available. Period.
